The business analyst’s main goal is to understand and communicate the business opportunity for the system. They work with the customers and other stakeholders to understand their needs and goals and translate those into persona definitions, scenarios, and quality of service requirements that the development team will use to build the application. They also set and manage expectations for the functionality of the system. On the project, the business analyst represents the user experience and product management constituencies meaning that they should always be looking out for the interests of the users and sponsors of the project. Finally, this role is responsible for providing and managing linkages between the other development roles and the users. A person assigned to this role should be added to the Contributor permissions group. This allows them to do all that they need to perform their function, such as create and modify the documents, work items, and work products.
